🔍 What’s Causing the Change?

Gold prices edged lower today, influenced by reduced institutional buying and currency strength.

  • Strong US Dollar pushing down international gold demand

  • Profit-booking by investors after last week's rally

  • Global gold spot prices hovered around $2,312/oz, slightly down from Friday’s $2,325

Domestic prices are directly influenced by international rates, currency exchange, and demand-supply in the local market.

📊 Expert Opinion:

According to commodity analyst Anuj Mehta from Kotak Securities:

“Gold is seeing natural correction after a 3-week rally. With upcoming US economic data and inflation trends, investors are cautious.”

He added that silver remains a steady industrial metal and its demand in solar panel and EV battery sectors is keeping prices stable.

🏦 Gold Investment Update:

Despite the uncertain mood in stock markets and the arrival of the festive season, many Indian investors continue to see gold as a reliable store of value. Still, financial planners recommend that retail investors stay cautious — making staggered investments instead of lump-sum purchases, and keeping long-term goals in mind.

  • Buy in installments or SIPs

  • Choose Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) for tax benefits

  • Avoid over-leveraging in futures market

💍 Jewellery Demand:

Jewellery stores across cities like Delhi and Ahmedabad reported slower business this week, mainly due to the absence of big festive events. But with Raksha Bandhan and Ganesh Chaturthi approaching, industry experts expect a revival in demand, which could push gold prices past ₹61,000 again.

🔐 International Market Summary:

  • Gold Spot: $2,312/oz (↓ $13)

  • Silver Spot: $29.15/oz (No change)

  • Dollar Index: 105.12 (↑)

  • US Fed policy news due this week may impact pricing globally

🧠 What Should Buyers Do?

  • If you’re a buyer, this dip is a good opportunity to purchase

  • Gold sellers might consider holding off for now, as upcoming festivals could drive prices upward. On the other hand, silver buyers may benefit by waiting a few more days — 
  • analysts expect sharper price movement next week.
🧾 Final Thoughts:

Gold may remain slightly volatile in the short term, but the long-term outlook stays positive due to global inflation concerns and currency fluctuations.

As the demand for electric vehicles and green technologies continues to rise, silver is emerging as a critical industrial metal. This growing utility could position it as a promising investment in the near future.
